Bin Laden Widow Answers Pakistani Police Questions

The New York Times has obtained a January 19th Pakistani police interrogation of Amal Ahmad Abdul Fateh, the youngest of Osama bin Laden’s three widows. Though, according to the paper, “there is noticeably little detail about the Pakistanis who helped her husband evade his American pursuers,” her responses provide insight into bin Laden’s movements and activities in the years following the September 11th attacks.

During this time period, Bin Laden fathered four children (some delivered in government hospitals), occupied a half-dozen or so houses, and moved, with Fateh, all around Pakistan, traveling from tribal areas in the northwest to exurbs of Islamabad to Abbottabad, where he was killed. We look forward to the forthcoming film From Islamabad to Abbottabad to Worse—and Back Again: the Amal Ahmad Abdul Fateh Story, set to air on Pakistan’s Lifetime channel equivalent.
